We had a wonderful time smelling and combining scents to make our own unique candle but we all used salted honey butter scent in our candles.

I had a wonderful birthday here! The class was so much fun — such a unique and hands-on experience. I was honestly overwhelmed (in the best way) by how many amazing scents were available to choose from. The Candle Queen was incredibly knowledgeable and made the whole process easy, fun, and educational. You can tell she’s passionate about what she does. Highly recommend for a birthday, girls’ night, or just because!

I enjoyed watching my family members choose scents I didn’t know they loved, and create a candle that is one-of-a-kind! I’m looking forward to sharing this experience with others!

What a fun experience! My maid of honor planned a ladies night for us and it’s definitely a night we won’t forget! Our host, Shawna, matched our vibes and handled this crew so well! There were cute vessels and SO MANY different fragrances to choose from to craft your own candle with. We’re already talking about booking our next class! If you’re thinking about it or haven’t booked with Ketchikan Candle Co. yet, you need to do it now!
